Germanwings' Andreas Lubitz 'spiked captain's coffee with diuretic drug to make him leave cockpit

Lubitz, 27, surfed on-line for diuretic drugs before his murder-suicide at the controls of the Germanwings Airbus 320.



Killer co-pilot Andreas Lubitz spiked the cockpit coffee of flight captain Patrick Sondenheimer with a drug making him go to the toilet, it was claimed today.

Lubitz, 27, surfed on-line for diuretic drugs before his murder-suicide at the controls of the Germanwings Airbus 320.

Lubitz needed his skipper to leave the cockpit as he plunged the aircraft - and all 150 people on board - into a mountainside on the French Alps using auto-pilot on March 24.

The latest information comes from Lubitz's computer seized by Dusseldorf prosecutors shortly after the disaster, according to reports in Germany.
